BBM to feature self-destructing messages

Along with various other features in the latest BBM update, BlackBerry also introduced self-destructing messages, which allow users to retract unread messages and control the viewing time of the text message.

Message retraction basically allows the sender to delete a text message from the recipient’s inbox, off course, provided the recipient hasn’t already opened the message. The feature also allows a sender to set time limit for the recipient to view the text message.

The feature is available for free for the next three months, but will be rolled into a paid subscription eventually.
